	=== Terminology and Traits ===		=== Terminology and Traits ===

			==== Terminology ====
			The following terms are used to describe all dairy sheep breeding systems covered:

			a. '''Suckling length''' corresponds to the suckling period of lambs or the simultaneous suckling and milking period. If the lambs only suckle during the colostral phase, the suckling length is considered to be zero. If there is an initial suckling phase, milk yield during this suckling period is equal either to the milk suckled, if suckling only, or to the milk suckled plus that milked, should there be partial milking during the suckling period.

			b. '''Milking-only length''' corresponds to the period during which the ewe is milked, starting when the lamb(s) has (have) been weaned, and until drying off.

			c. '''Lactation length''' is equal to the sum of the suckling length plus milking-only length; it is also the difference in days between the date of lambing and the date of drying off.

			d. '''Total milk yield''' (TMY) is the milk yield produced from lambing to drying off for a ewe with no suckling period.

			e. '''Total milked milk''' (TMM) is the milk yield produced during the milking only period, in the case of lactation with milking only after a suckling period.

			f. '''Total suckled and milked milk''' (TSMM) is the sum of the milk yield of the suckling period (milk suckled, or milk suckled plus that milked) plus the TMM.

			g. '''Milk recorded yield''': only the milk yield during exclusive milking can be a part of milk recording on farms. If the suckling period is not of zero length, the milk yield in dairy sheep only takes into account exclusive milking and the length of the milking-only period (which starts once the lambs are fully weaned and is over when the ewe dries off) : it corresponds to the TMM.

			The following situations therefore arises:

			We recommend that the approved organisations define, for each breed and category of ewes (age or lactation number), a production of reference per lactation, with a standard lactation length close to the average lactation length of the considered breed (according to its breeding system).

Annex 1. Dairy Sheep - rules and standard obligations in all situations

	== Annex 1. Dairy Sheep - rules and standard obligations in all situations ==		== Annex 1. Dairy Sheep - rules and standard obligations in all situations ==
			=== Ewes to be controlled ===
			Whenever there is (quantitative) milk recording for the recorded flock, all the ewes being exclusively milked (of the breeds or genotypes involved in the breeding programme) must be recorded i.e. milk recording is realised only when the ewe is definitively separated from its lamb(s). In the case of method E, these rules may not be respected.

			=== Type and expression of milk recording ===
			The only obligatory milk recording is that of the quantity of milk (i.e. quantitative milk recording). That is to say, tests on the composition of the milk (or qualitative tests for fat and protein content) are optional.
			#Milk may be measured by weight (grams) or volume (millilitres). The conversion factor of weight (grams) into volume (millilitres) is 1.036, which corresponds to the normal sheep milk density.
			# The minimum daily milk yield tested is set at 150 g or 150 ml.
			# The limit of error (standard deviation or error) is 40 g or 40 ml.

			=== Frequency of milk recording visits ===
			[[File:Monthly method.png\|center\|thumb\|800x800px\|''Figure. Monthly method'']] ''Interval depending on the situation of the lambings in the flock.''

			'''Note 1:'''

			# AT, BT, CT, ET: Alternating monthly test (recording of only one of the two daily milkings).
			# AC, BC, CC, EC: Corrected monthly test for evening/morning differences (recording of only one of the two daily milkings), taking into account the total volume of milk produced by the whole flock over the two milkings concerned (bulk tank weights).



			'''Note 2:'''

			'''No set total number of recording visits per year (described by each official organisation).'''
